A few points:
The temperature of the atmosphere isn't changing much. Stratospheric temperatures are cooling, whist the troposphere is warming, which is exactly what we should expect to happen. Of course it's the tropospheric temperature which is important to us humans, although the stratosphere does affect weather patterns so mustn't be overlooked.
If the temperature of the troposphere rises, average global precipitation will also rise. It's true changes in atmospheric circulation might make some areas more prone to drought, but on the whole agriculture should benefit from more rainfall. The downside is flooding will aso be more of a problem,
Historically human population correlates positively with higher temperatures, which boost agricultural productivity and reduce the number of cold-related deaths, which is higher than those due to excessive heat.
Extreme heat, will always be balanced to some extent by extreme cold, so if one region is hot, another will be cool. There's been a lot of hype about the recent heatwave in southern Europe, yet much of Northern Europe and part of Asia, has had cooler than average temperatures this summer. It's caused by blocking events. A high in the North Atlantic, near Greenland, pushed the jet stream further south, than usual, diverting low pressure over the UK, pushing the subtropical ridge further south and east, resulting in extreme heat there.
The pandemic was a classic example of group think. Many public health authorities, along with other institutions became overly focussed on preventing the spread of the virus, whilst ignoring the negative consequences of their polices on wider society. Many of their policies were not evidence-based: mask mandates, vaccinating those with prior immunity, school closures etc. This caused a backlash by those who were sceptical of the authorities, driving many of them to become more extreme in their views. This has made more sceptical of the mainstream media and much of academia. I now take what organisations such as the WHO and IPCC with a pinch of salt.
Most of those who have responded to this thread, questioning climate change, appear to be fairly reasonable. None of them come across as science deniers. My persional view is that CO2 is affecting the climate, but most policies aimed at dealing with it, will cause more harm, than good, as has been the case with the pandemic.
